Digital BW, The Print

I don't think any purge is needed, except maybe going from MK in the
glop position back to glop.

As a matter of fact I have OEM Epson PK and Y in my R1800 now with MIS
inks in the other spots.  No problems here.

You need a full set of cartridges installed (can be just cleaning
carts in the non MK positions) to print anything.
